The Editors of the Canadian Modern Language Review invite proposals for the annual special issue of the journal. Proposals should identify a contemporary topic which will allow for the exploration of recent advances in theory, research, and practice in second language learning and teaching. The proposed topic should also be one that will attract diverse perspectives, research methodologies, and pedagogical applications.

The special issue of the CMLR is an open call for papers; guest editors therefore manage the submissions, which consists of the standard double blind review process. At least one of the editors should be fluent in both English and French.

Proposals will be evaluated by the CMLR Editors and members of the Editorial Board. The criteria will include: relevance to the mandate of the journal; significance of the topic to the field; and the qualifications of the two editors. The successful proposal will be announced in the spring of 2011.

Guest editors should refer to the Guidelines for Special Issue Proposals on the CMLR website for details on the submission requirements.
